I preferred it from others. I like the default letters being the sixth fidels( sadis ). Improvements: Please remove the settings button next to space bar. I keep pressing it while trying to reach space bar using my left hand thumb. Place the globe keyword change button at the bottom just like the one shown iPhone English keyboard. Include emoji button in place of the globe keyboard button. Please include Amharic letter Aynu አ ( o ) in the keyboard as well. ### 3/5 — It's missing some Amharic letters *2016-03-27, version 2.0.1* And when you select it, the title is too long, it should be as simple as "Amharic", there shouldn't be any letter missing ### 4/5 — Sorry for my previous comment. *2014-12-02, version 1.2.1* This app is not bad at all. The more you play with it I'm sure you like it. I'm sure in the future there will be something better. I give it four out of five. ### 3/5 — Mr. *2013-09-12, version 1.2.1* A very good start; but there is a long way to go to bring it to a user-friendly level. I hope we will soon be notified of upgrades which address most of the problems cited in many of the reviews which I read. ### 3/5 — TWR *2013-05-15, version 1.2.1* My rate for this App is 3 star because the App by it self is good to be developed. However, it is not good enough to put in the market or Apps store as it is not easy to use. I personally know how Amharic alphabets are difficult. Developers need to work a little bit harder to make it simpler to users. ### 2/5 — Not good *2013-04-22, version 1.2.1* If receiver don't have this apps, you can't send and receive any message.or you have to send as picture: so I don't recommend it. ### 4/5 — Impressive! *2013-03-26, version 1.2.1* I was delighted to see this app and'm using it whenever I want to send an email to my folks back home. Specially those who are not fluent in English. It will even be more exiting if and when everyone can do the same. Using it in an email is not a straight forward process. Please keep improving it. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Please improve it. *2013-01-07, version 1.2* It won't send through email. Please! Please! Please! do something. We all expect what you advertised is true and trust you. It is easy to mislead, but hard to gain trust. We all love if you listen to our concern. Go back and start new version. Just junk this one!!!! As it is now it is bad product. ### 3/5 — Amharic type writer *2012-11-29, version 1.2* It is a good start but I can't write my message on Facebook.i mean I can't chat in Amharic.you guys have to work hard on that. Daniel ### 4/5 — Love It *2012-11-23, version 1.2* It's awesome and u hope if it could even be batter on the next update. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TN fam *2017-07-30, version 2.0.1* There is no Amharic full stop (::) and comma (neTela-serez). Likewise, the important letter "Aynu A" (O) is not included. ### 1/5 — The privacy policies policy of the app is very risky *2016-04-09, version 2.0.1* I have been using this app for many years. It's a wonderful app that can be used easily. But, the current version doesn't work unless the user selects "full access" when downloading which allows the app developers to collect personal data including any texts typed, credit card numbers used and location information. These causes a huge risk on the users. Unless the developers of the "itype Amharic" app explicitly guarantee that they don't collect any user information and stop asking users to grant them "full access" on their devices I don't recommend this product for nobody. I have deleted this app from my phone after I knew that they are very risky to use. ### 1/5 — Mr *2015-12-14, version 2.0* After I made updates the app it completely freezes I don't know what to do ### 1/5 — Rip off *2014-02-24, version 1.2.1* This app has a misleading picture! You can only use it with other people who have the app which is close to zero. Do NOT fall for it, I did. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2013-11-30, version 1.2.1* Crap... Don't waste your money on this ### 1/5 — Disappointed. Don't waste your money *2013-10-09, version 1.2.1* Not a good keyboard for someone who can't speak English well. The Amharic keyboard is not clickable. Also the SMS feature does not work properly. Disappointing and waste of my money. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-09-13, version 1.2.1* This app only works w/other users that have the app. Do not buy!! ### 1/5 — Use less *2013-01-15, version 1.2.1* The app. Is not compatible with messenger , FB, and Twitter. The app. Does not allow to send info as a text or image. I have friends who use Japanise, Korean and Chinese character . And work perfect for them. This app had long way to go. Waste of money and garbage or useless for now. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work for me *2013-01-05, version 1.2* This app doesn't work at all need my money back !!it's like u hv no technical support or guid lines how to use this app and u can't even massage ur friends I fell bad that I told my friends to buy it b4 I check this thing !!and if u r planning to buy this app truest me its not worth free !! Ps. It's says it will automatically list friends that has itypeamharic ....joke doesn't show u or allow u to do that ......I don't like this app big time!!!wouldn't recommend it if u don't really know someone who is using it!!! ### 1/5 — Failer *2012-10-04, version 1.1* This ain't work at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-01-17, version 2.3* This app is absolutely fantastic and latest. Please add some letters like አይኗ አ እና እንደ አራት ነጥብ, እና ነጠላ ሰረዝ አይነት punctuation marks. Also keyboard theme preferences both የናንተ ምርጫዎች እና user የፈለገውን photo upload ማድረግ እንዲችል ብታደርጉል!!! Finally I’m excited for discovering iType Amharic. ### 5/5 — iType is not working since the new update *2019-01-24, version 2.2* Thank you for fixing the issue; much appreciated. ### 5/5 — In love with the new version *2016-03-23, version 2.0.1* I have been using this app since the first version was released. I am in love with the new version because it's seamless and functional across the board. I don't even notice that I'm using it while reading Amharic text on other apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on. I enjoy reading jokes and sayings which make a lot more sense in their original context. 😊I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Develop Amharic keyboard *2014-10-03, version 1.2.1* Like your app. Can you now go further and develop a keyboard that can be installed in ios8? Thanks ### 5/5 — Mr *2013-05-18, version 1.2.1* It is wonderful technology,easy to write and as well simple to understand it it is a great job. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2013-02-23, version 1.2.1* It is very good start and good opportunity to explain same thing to who don't know English and communicate with others. ### 5/5 — Good Job buddy but... *2013-01-26, version 1.2.1* I was wondering around to delete the messages since it adds up to the one you been texting but there is no option. So please , fix that! Let us delete messages as a regular texting. Other than that I'm proud of you guys. Keep it up. I'm impressed. ### 5/5 — Good start & good job for giving us this opportunity! *2012-12-23, version 1.2* Our educated professional individuals should have done this long time a go....but it is good start though! When I open my iPhone's language preference, I see all alphabets , but not ours & feel very sad! Anyways , it is a good start & I hope we will use our alphabet very soon! Great job thx! ### 5/5 — I like it *2012-10-14, version 1.1* I love this app! But when you text to some one it goes as a picture not as a text. If you send it as a text it would be Like a lot of boxes so the other person would not be able to read ### 5/5 — Sr *2012-10-03, version 1.1* Sr --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
